dock98 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 A network topology is how computers, printers, and other devices are connected over a network.

Essentially there are six different common topologies you should familiarize yourself with: Bus, Ring, Star, Extended Star, Hierarchical, and Mesh.learn more here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I wonder why they added the extended star... That's just a combination of the star and the hierarchical structures. This way they could add an extended ring, mesh and bus too. Or a ring & star :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be because of our recent re-design.Also because they don't seem to have some kind of a forum?And of course i was just wondering if any of you knew why they did this... Maybe they do have a particular reason for doing so, in that case i'd want to know it!I'm not blaming you dock :PEdit: I found you the new link: http://://learn-networking.com/network-design...etwork-topology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 i didnt think you were,i just did not know the answer to yourquestionWas just making sure you didn't took stuff like this as an insult. I've had people doing so and i guess i'd better be cautious than ending up in an argument about things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
